| Hi -dumb question-- I was wondering if glads make seeds? I have planted some this year and I ma planning on digging them up to save for next year this fall (I am in NE Iowa). But do they ever make seeds, and if so can you save them for planting next year? Thanks, Marie |

| Marie, glads will form seeds that can be sown at 70-75F for germination in approx 20-40 days. The seedlings should be left in the pot for the first year while corms form below the grass-like seedlings. But not deadheading (removing the spent flowers) and allowing seed to set will take energy away from the existing corms that you plan to save, and unless growing the species types the seedlings will not come true to the parent glad. You'll have glads but will have no way of knowing what color if that matters to you. |
